Native of Chicago Dr. Hynek, a native of Chicago ind the country's leading astro. iomer, received his doctor's degree n astronomy from the University >f Chicago in 1935. He was a Fel ow at Yerker Observatory where ie carried on research. From 1986 to 1944, he was in he department of physics and tstronomy at Ohio State Univer ,ity, serving two years as instrue or and two years as assistant irofessor. He spent the summer of 1941 nstructing at Harvard College Ob ervatory. On Leave During 1942 and 1946, Dr. Hynek vas on leave to Applied Physics ,aboratory of John Hopkins Uni ,ersity as supervisor of teehnical eports. In 1946, he returned to Ohio ;tate University as associate pro essor and dire6tor of McMillin )bservatory. He was named as istant dean of the graduate school .t Ohio State in 1950. Iran Expedition In 1954, he was in charge of the Ohio State University Eclipse Ex ,edition to Iran and since then e has been professor of physics nd astronomy. He is now on leave of absence to mithsonian Astronomical Obser atory where he is in charge of he International Geophysical Year |arth Satellite -Tracking program. Presently, he is head of the rpper Atmosphere section of Ob ervatory. He -is also secretary of Lmerican Astronomical Society nd secretary of the United States Tational Committee of Interna ional Astronomical Union and Is a kiting lecturer in general educa ion at Harvard University. Author He is the author of numerous esearch articles on astronomy and elestial mechanics. "Because of the general interest n man-made satellites today, the lepartpnent of mathematics and estronomy feels fortunate in being able to secure a man like Dr. lynek to bring this series of lec ures," Dr. W. L. Williams, head f the department of math and stronomy, has said. Admiral C. F. Martin (ret.), as istant professor of astronomy and lirector of the University Obser ratory, is in charge of arrange nients for Dr. Hynek's lecturers.

Dr. W. A. Rutledge and Dr. Simon Green, faculty members of the University's department of mathematics, are co-authors of the book "Introduction of Algebra for College Students." Dr. Rutledge described the text book as designed to teach fresh men students the principles of al gebra by development ~f 10 basic ideas rather than following the present method of memorizing formulas. However, the book, which has been in preparation for over four years, is not intended for general use but for students entering technical fields which require a high development of mathematical skills. This will mark the third publi cation for Dr. Rutledge and the second for Dr. Green. Dr. Rutledge collaborated with Dr. John Pond, University of Tulsa, to write "Modern Trigo nometry," which was published in 1956. "Vector Analysis," which will be published-this year, was written by Drs. Rutledge and Green in cooperation with Dr. M. Schwartz of the University of Louisville. "Explicator" Contest Won By Wilson Harold S. Wilson, professor of English in the University College of the University of Toronto, is the winner of a $200 award for* writing the best book of explica tion de texte published in 1957. The contest was sponsored by "The Explicator," a literary monthly edited at the University of South Carolina. The winning book, titled "On the Design of Shakespeare an Tragedy" and published by the* University- of Toronto Press, was~ unanimously chosen as the best in literary analysis i.. the field of English or American literature. Judges were Professors Eliza beth Nitchie of Goucher, Charles C. Walcutt of Queens College, and William K. Wimsatt Jr. of Yale University. Wilson received the A.B. degree from Dalhousie College in 1 927: and the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard University in 1929 and 1939. Before taking his present posi-, tion at the University of Toronto, he taught for a while at Grinnell College and the University of Ne braska, and in summer sessions at~ Northwvestern and Harvard uni versities. In addition to writing numerous articles and reviews for various magazines and periodicals, Prof. Wilson has served as a member of the editorial boards of the "Uni versity of Toronto Quarterly" and the "Shakespeare Quarterly." In 1945 he edited "Gabriel Harvey's Ciceronianus." The contest in which Prof. Wil son's book was the winner is spon sored annually by "The Explica tor," a magazine devoted to the, critical word-by-word, line-by-line analysis of literary works which is the special feature of explica tion de text. The contest for books published in 1958 will be announced early in 1959.

Nti: Tis is the fir@6 of six foatures written for "The Gamecock" by International sta dents at Carolina. The series was arranged In collaboration with the International Relations Club.) By SUE PARK Korea is one of the oldest coqntries of the world, having a dense population and a rich and beautiful mountainous landscape. "Korea Is the child of the United Nations, born pf its family." The new republic was organized under the sponsorship of the United Nations soon after the Second World War. Yalta Treaty As a result of the Yalta treaty 'between the United States and Soviet Russia, poor- Korea was divided in two by the 88th paral lel. Russia engineered the North erners to prepare war against the South and on June 25, 1950, the South was invaded by the communist elements. In a period of three years of bitter struggle in this small peninsula, almost all North and South Korea became victims. Yet, the tradition and the beauty of Korea was not destroyed, as it was called "The Land of the Morning Calm." Climate Remarkable Th6 climate of Korea is re markable; unlike South Carolina, its seasons are very pronounced. The autumn is an autumn with clear and high blue skies above beautiful mountains and it is not summer-like weather as is found here in Columbia. This time of the year all the farmers take their crops in and also it is a time for celebrations. Among others, the Chusuk is the oldest and the gayest holiday of the season. Rural Azfs In rural areas throughout Ko rea, farmers enjoy this more than any other holiday because after half a year of hard work in the rice paddies, this is just the time for a rest before the ,harvest and other heavy work of fall plowing and barley sow ing.

Learning Woman In education in the old days the "learning woman" was not considered a perfect wife. A 0~~ woman, they said, has to know how to keep and decorate the home, raise the children, cook, and, most important of all, please the man and be obedient. But nowadays the education is open to women. The primary school education is compulsory, but high schools are opened only to those who can afford the cost and who can pass the hard OMETHING IOME ABOUT H RISTMAS IGTON IERI ,aook for a Remington rate, buy a Remington I1).

In some places, especlallyV the fural areas, the marriage is strictly arranged by the family. The couple cannot see each other before the ceremony, and even ( more, the bride cannot raise her head and look at the groom until the wedding is over. Korean- Religions The religion in Korea is of various kinds. Beginning with Sharmanism, Buddhism has been the most well known under the old kingdoms. There are many beautiful temples and people from all over the country visit there in the spring and autumn. Christianity has been outlawed at times in Korea, but,now it Is the belief of the majority. All the Christians in Korea pray for the justice and the prosperity of the United States. The Showplace After the Armistice, the ,,, United Nations agreed that Free Korea should be made into the showplace of the formerly under developed democratic countries. This objective has not been fully attained, yet the job must and will be done. In the North all reconstruction must take a contribution to militarism and people are on the edge of famine and decent life does not exist. All Sacrifices Korea pledges to make all sa crifices necessary for the accom iplishment of a better and more secure life in the future, so that all communist-held peoples can look at the evidence and make their own choice. With the unselfish help of the United States and the good will of the rest of the free world, there can 'be no doubt of the out come. I would like to call "The Game cock" stingy because it is very hard to describe a country like Korea in only limited fev pages.
